Hi NG I desperately try to install Direct X 8 under my wine. I know from Websites that it was possible to install Directx 7.X So i thougth there should be a way to get 8 to work too, the NG search brougth nothing about this topic. Im running a Suse 7.2 System with all Updates available including newest Wine. But if i try to start it the installer always tells me that its not pos. to install Directx 8.0 under my OS ;-). Is it possible or has someone allready managed it ? TIA Christian

The people running them deserve a few 'kind' words :-) IOW no, it can't work, never worked, never will as said already a lot of times on this news group. Gerard

DirectX is already included in WINE. An installer telling you you need it is broken. Try to workaround that messagebox ;) Ciao, Marcus
